If you look at the Raptors' schedule they haven't been bad

They have kept games close, but can't seem to answer the other team's runs. Call a timeout, Triano!Leads don't seem to be safe with the Raptors, either. They had a 22-point lead against the Heat, and then it was shredded to just one.And yes, their defense is advancing, but they are far from being one of the better defensive teams in the league.If you look at the Raptors' schedule, they haven't been bad. If they continue to improve their defense, they will get better. Offense isn't a problem with this team, but toughness will be, at least until Reggie Evans comes back.Finally, the return of Pops Mensah-Bonsu will be great for the team. Pops brings defense and energy to the floor, and should help toaddress many of the Raptors' problems.Go RAPS! Next Report: Sunday, Nov 29th.

With the loss last week to the lowly Chiefs I didnt think the team would win again this year. Instead of packing it in and preparing fortheir fancy vacations in differentcountry's the team came out and played with a fire like if they were in the hunt for first place. This game makes me think that Cable can do this job for the simple fact that the team has not quit on him on bit which says a lot for a team that was 2-7 coming into todays game. The question is this - how much of this years 2-7 record is to blame on Russell Did the Bengals just come into town and lay a egg Do the players play more with a urgency when Gradkowski is the leader One thing is for sure.
